London – Present Day Jess Cole is the developer and founder of an app that focuses on women’s problems, but she is having problems finding funding. With her bank account balances plummeting, she is hoping to secure funding by entering an entrepreneurial competition where the top three winners are awarded a monetary prize from the billionaire sponsoring the contest. During the application process, Jess accidentally marks the owner of her company as “male,” and she doesn’t realize it until she gets an email from them addressed to “Mr. Cole.” Because she has faced misogyny in the business world, she decides to pretend to be a male. But when her company is chosen as one of the participants and must come to Italy to present, Jess knows that she must either come clean or get a male to stand in and pretend to be the CEO of her company. She convinces her twin brother, Spencer, to be the CEO, and Jess will be his assistant, Violet. Once in Italy, things are going great, so great that her company is one of the top ten to compete in the next stage of the contest. Meanwhile, Jess has met Oliver, a nice guy who gives her all the tingly feels a woman could want. Unfortunately, he’s also the assistant to the billionaire. How will Oliver react if he learns that Violet is really Jess Cole and that his boss is being manipulated? RISKY BUSINESS has all the right moves for readers in this scintillating tale about misogyny and big business. Jess is smart and is determined to make her company successful, but she faces an uphill battle when people see a woman running it. She already faced it when she left a company after she was ridiculed for being the victim of revenge porn. She is fighting hard to make her company succeed, and that means even having her brother pretend to be the CEO. Spencer is already an actor, and he’s supportive of Jess, so it wasn’t hard to convince him to take on the job. But is he too good for the role? Spencer certainly gets the attention of the billionaire. As for Jess, she’s attracted to Oliver, a man who could topple her and expose her to his boss. Admittedly, Oliver is confused by Violet/Jess and her hot/cold attitude toward him. Unfortunately, Jess can’t tell him the truth. RISKY BUSINESS will have you laughing and crying at Jess. You’ll want to support her risky moves in trying to make her company a success. This tale takes place in London, with appearances in Italy, France, and Austria. Jess gets to rub shoulders with the rich while sneaking around behind the scenes with Oliver. Along the way, her past comes back to haunt her. Will her house of cards come tumbling down as secrets are exposed? Will her company get the money it needs? What about Jess’s growing feelings for Oliver? They match perfectly, but she can’t give him one hundred percent because of the secrets. Will he forgive her if the truth comes out? It’s going to be a madcap adventure to the end. A fine, enjoyable tale that you won’t want to miss, be sure to pick up RISKY BUSINESS today. Patti Fischer |
